Because of similar goals, Total Hockey joined forces with the Grow the Game Initiative to launch GrowtheGame.com. As the Founding Sponsor, Total Hockey plans to continue the Grow the Game partnership by working together to increase player participation and player recruitment. Other plans include local state contests to increase hockey participation as well as development of Grow the Game materials to help parents improve the youth hockey experience for kids.

In addition, Total Hockey is partnered with National Hockey League organizations who share the goal of growing the greatest game on earth. These programs provide hockey families, parents, players, coaches, recruiters, fans and those new to the game with vital information about all aspects of the game, including proper equipment fitting, tips on helping your child with the sport, player development, and much more. Total Hockey is partnered with the Dallas Stars Care, Phoenix Coyotes Care, Colorado Avalanche Cares, Columbus Blue Jackets Care, Tampa Bay Lightning Care, Florida Panthers Care, and the St. Louis Blues Youth Sports Scene.

The Grow the Game Initiative is a national program to grow the game of hockey across the U.S. Founded by the Youth Sports Coalition, the Grow the Game Initiative's goal is to grow the game of hockey so that all players learn life lessons through hockey participation.

Minnesota Hockey:

One of our greatest partners in the effort to grow the game, Minnesota Hockey, in conjuncture with USA Hockey, sponsors many programs to introduce kids to the sport and to recognize those who make a difference. Through our partnership with Minnesota Hockey, Total Hockey has established the Total Hockey Playmaker Fund. This fund comes from sales within Minnesota Total Hockey stores and from contributions of Minnesota customers. Total Hockey Playmaker Fund is one of the ways we are working to expand the sport and support youth hockey associations.

Hockey Associations:

In addition to our partnership with Minnesota Hockey we strive to work with hockey associations in every area where we have stores. These relationships help us to promote hockey growth and connect with youth hockey players in the area. We currently are partnering with Missouri Hockey and Mid States Club Hockey Association and continue to build relationships with local hockey associations as we expand.
